Sara Bareilles is such a lovely lady, and her voice is angelic. There’s something in her cold voice that is so soothing and ethereal. Like every time I listen to her voice, I almost always get shrills and goosebumps because it’s just so beautiful.
In case you don’t know her, …

Allison Krauss has one of the most amazing voices in country music and this song is just one more proof of that. This is one of my favorite songs by this artist because of the lyrics and the soft but upbeat tune. She proclaims her love for this person …

I am a huge fan of music that has a distinct eighties vibe to it, not least of which music actually made in the eighties. There is just something about the use of cheesy synths and rhythm inspired pop base lines that just keeps me listening without question. For …

I thought Elliot Yamin got robbed in the American Idol when he was booted out at the top five of the competitions. Now after releasing his debut album, which has sold over seven million copies in America and more worldwide. I think the real America has spoken.
I love Elliot …

Rainmaker is a track which appears on Iron Maiden’s record Dance Of Death. Right from the start the song opens up with a riff which has a very lighthearted feel to it, it certainly doesn’t exactly come off as the type of riff which I would typically associate with …

Dyers Eve has to be one of Metallica’s most aggressive and angry songs, not just on Justice but on any of their nine records. For those of you who heard Master Of Puppets, if for some reason then you haven’t then go listen to it now, you’ll recognize that …

No More Mister Nice Guy is a cover performed by Megadeth which appears on their record Hidden Treasures. The track starts off with that classic riff from Alice Cooper’s track but certainly with a more aggressive tone and just sort of more an electrified tone coming from Mustaine. Although …

“Gotham City (Remix)”
“Batman & Robin” Soundtrack

The Wanton Song is a track by Led Zeppelin which appears on their album Physical Graffiti. The track opens up with a nice rock and roll rhythm which somewhat reminds me of The Immigrant Song, an earlier song done by Zeppelin. The point I’m making is that the riff …

I first discovered the band Korn in I think about 2000. It was when had seen the video for Freak on a Leash on MTV, and I remember thinking it was the heaviest type of rock music I had ever heard. I thought the video was amazing and mystifying …

This Good Friday was my second time seeing all three of these bands, so I know what I’m talking about when I say that this concert was not just “business as usual” for these artists.
The concert began with a bang when Sevendust came onto the stage. Their high-energy …

The track opens up with a fairly confusing tone comprised of an odd mix of instrumentation including keyboards, synthesizers, and drums. Overall, these instruments come together to create a sound which seems as …

In actuality, the The Making of the Awake DVD featurette is way too short. It’s more like an overview or even more to the point an explanation as to why the Awake DVD was produced.
The majority of this featurette is Josh Groban discussing the tour and what it …

I love Timbaland, and he’s always so sensual and melodramatic sometimes when it comes to his songs but they’re really wholesome, and when I heard Katy Perry was going to sing her too I was very ecstatic as I love her, and although they might have come off as …

In the winter of 1994, I purchased Enter the Wu Tang: 36 Chambers by rap group the Wu Tang Clan and I have nothing but positive reviews to say about the album. I consider this album as a classic and something that will continued to be played by real …

A Song For All Seasons is a song by Jefferson Airplane which appears on their 1969 release, Volunteers. The track opens up with a piano bit and right away you certainly get sort of a sense of country rock rather than the traditional psychedelic rock of Jefferson Airplane. At …

Ever heard of Jack’s Mannequin? You should have. Not because of rising popularity or the fact that the band recently accompanied Plain White T’s and Panic!
